,x n− 1 by truncated

powers:

With this, we now can generate the entire set of truncated powers by integer
translates of a single function, x n− 1

This is also a basis of S n,N .
Now for different values of N , different spaces S n,N can be visualized; each
of them is of finite dimension when N is finite. Making N infinitely large and
considering the union of all such spaces, we can make the space S n of infinite
dimension and the basis in equation (8.6) will, therefore, be a different basis
of the infinite dimensional space S n (due to the different bases for the values
of N ). This basis can be written as

To find cardinal splines in L 2 ( IR ), one can consider backward differences

For n th order polynomial, the n th order difference is zero, i.e.,
